Hi,
it might be the reason for the error messages, but it doesn't seem to be
the full answer. I after boot time, I unload everything, and reload pwc:
zorglub:~# rmmod bt878
zorglub:~# rmmod bttv
zorglub:~# rmmod pwc
zorglub:~# rmmod videodev
zorglub:~# rmmod v4l2_common
zorglub:~# modprobe pwc
then I don't get anything suspicious in dmesg and videodev/v4l2_common
are loaded properly together with pwc:
zorglub:~# lsmod
Module Size Used by
pwc 90356 0
videodev 9728 1 pwc
v4l2_common 5824 1 pwc
So, why doesn't it work properly at boot time?
Cheers, Eric

but finally and actually everything seems to run fine (i.e. I can use
Gnomemeeting without obvious issue), but it's perhaps pointing to an
underlying issue.

Hi,
as you can see[0] this in not an pwc error, you have to load videodev
kernel module before using pwc module. Maybe there is a way to make an
modules.conf setting to avoid this. I have to check it.
Please close this bug if this is the solution of your error.
Thanks
